全面理解我国现行宪法中的宗教条款,需要结合第36条整体内容、其他相关条款和制宪历史背景,尤其是新中国成立以来宗教政策的历史变迁进行综合分析。现行宪法第36条对宗教事务的规定,是涵盖信教自由、政教分离、独立办教、宗教活动必须合法等宪制追求的一种全面规定。对该条款的理解,还需要将其与现行宪法第1条、第33条、第51条和第52条等规定结合起来进行体系解释,并明确宗教活动不得违背我国宪法基本原则。尤其要指出的是,现行宪法宗教条款及相关规定,是基于新中国成立以来宗教工作的经验总结与政治决断,有必要从宪制发生学的角度探索这些条款与原则的生成史,以充分把握其含义。当前宗教工作中的一些突出情况,进一步印证了新中国成立初期宗教制度改革的必要性与正确性,以及现行宪法宗教条款的立宪远见与政治智慧。
A comprehensive understanding of the religious provisions in the current constitution of our country requires a comprehensive analysis of the overall content of Article 36, other relevant clauses and the historical background of constitutional development, especially the historical changes of religious policies since the founding of People’s Republic of China. The provisions of Article 36 of the current constitution on religious affairs are comprehensive provisions covering the constitutional pursuit of freedom of religious belief, separation of church and state, independence of education and religious activities. The understanding of this article also needs to be combined with the provisions of articles 1, 33, 51 and 52 of the current constitution for system interpretation and to make it clear that religious activities must not violate the basic principles of our Constitution. In particular, the current constitutional religious articles and related provisions are based on the experience and political decisions of religious work since the founding of New China. It is necessary to explore the history of the formation of these articles and principles from the perspective of constitutional genesis so as to fully grasp the Its meaning. Some prominent cases in the current religious work have further confirmed the necessity and correctness of the reform of the religious system in the early days of the founding of New China and the constitutional foresight and political wisdom of the existing constitutional religious provisions.
